UE:

The NCEA Level 2 English standards listed below marked (R) count as Reading credits and the standards marked (W) as Writing credits towards University Entrance Literacy. Standards marked (R/W) count as either Reading or Writing credits (but not both). A minimum of 5 Reading and 5 Writing credits are required to achieve UE Literacy. Credits may also be gained from approved standards offered in a range of other subjects as well as English. Students applying to the University of Auckland also require at least 17 credits in English at NCEA Level 2 or 3.
